Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken- a delicious and easy recipe for a full-flavored Indian butter chicken that will make you want to lick your plate clean!

I am a huge fan of Indian butter chicken. The creamy, tomato-based and spice-laden chicken curry is absolutely delicious and so good with steamed rice that it’s probably one of my favorite Indian recipes. It’s almost impossible to resist butter chicken, it’s the epitome of Indian cooking with a slight western interpretation.

When it comes to Indian food, I always refer to my good friend Simply Reem for authentic and delicious Indian recipes. There is no exception to her butter chicken recipe as I can’t think of anyone who can create a better recipe than Reem; you can’t go wrong with her authentic recipe!

When Reem and I were talking about this butter chicken recipe, Reem was joking that the chicken would be so good and HOT that it’s like Channing Tatum. We had a good laugh and decided to call this butter chicken “Channing Chicken.”

In any case, this is a very easy recipe that you can whip up in a short time. The ingredients are everyday ingredients that you can get at any stores, but the taste is as good as, if not better than, the ones you get at your favorite Indian restaurants. Enjoy!

In order to avoid the chicken being over-cooked, I added the marinaded chicken to the already softened onions, garlic and ginger then cooked until it was just about done. I made the sauce with the residue of the spice mix, chopped tomatoes and chicken stock in a different pan. It was just outstanding. Thanks a lot for the recipe.

Green cardamom comes as pod and powder both.. For this recipe the pod is use!!
Also you can find fenugreek leaves (dried) easily in an Indian/Asian store.. If you cannot find them just leave them out. Butter chicken will still taste amazing!!
